Hey Jeep Guy's.

[Tughill Tom]

So I'm going to look at a 73" CJ5 with a 304mill in it and low miles, this weekend. The" Voice Of Reason" found this one fake market, but it's really local to me so it seems legit.
It's up as a solid CA unit and zero rust...........So what I'm looking for?

If it was a TJ I could help you! But they came 24 years later!

I have a JL. The only thing I know about CJs is they are great off road and have horrible road manners.

I had an old WWII (that's not World War Eleven in case you're in the House of Representatives) military jeep, a '67 CJ and a '95 YJ. If you could drive blindfolded, you wouldn't be able to tell much difference between the ''46 and the '67 except for top speed. Both would go anywhere and had a habit of popping out of second gear. They were both fun to drive, but not pleasant to drive. The '95 was better.

Depends on what you're intended use is.
Check out some of the opinions on this Jeep Forum. There may be other forums, this just popped up first.
You being in the NYS snow belt seems heat may be an issue as well as parts availability.

My wife inherited a V6 1969 CJ5 that has less than 20k original miles.
Cool car but not practical.

I have considered Jeep’s as well.

Not sure what I want though.

I like the look of the World War “eleven” jeeps, but the reality is that a 60 or 70’s Wrangler would probably be the “best all around”.

My “must have list” would include

1. Modern Fuel injection.
2. Locker axles for (for true 4wd.)
3. Manual Transmission (cause they are fun)
3. A/C…..(cause I’m a sissy)
